Eric Johnson @ House Of Blues 01 Zenland

[@GatesMcCrary]

Bill Maddox you will be missed

[@BryanBetts]

even though one of eric's marshalls was acting up, he handled the situation professionally and delivered a great performance. i know a bunch of guitar players that would have fallen apart had they been placed in that situation. excellent video and an awesome song!

[@bcampbell185]

Man---every 50 years a player like Eric comes along. Whata gifted virtuoso player he is.

[@chewbacca500]

3:35 amp buzzes, he lookes more frustrated than pissed. He switches a foot pedal and launches into a fantastic improvised solo like the professional virtuoso that he is. Truly the greatest!

[@megasam10000]

havent listened to this guy in months i missed it

[@brentona]

damn that clean is so interesting! so bright, yet so deep crisp, yet so round JEALOUS

[@3rne]

Eric tiene muchísimo feeling, y lo demuestra en su vibrato, en sus combibaciones de escalas de blues, jazz y rock o en su sonido lleno y sutil

[@drchronos]

I think most of Eric's soul is not in the improvisations, but in the music itself.. Nobody else can make such beautiful compositions like manhattan, srv, venus isle, etc... I think his soul is exactly in the COMPOSITION, not in the improvisation. This song for example, its SO COOL!!! Its so groovy, so fun to hear.. thats what I like about him.

[@tommorellorules]

I loved his tone at the 1988 Austin performance

[@themusicdr]

damn so so good. head just starts bopping automatically. so much musicality in EJ's playing

[@lompe007]

si el es un sabio en cuanto a teoria aplicada a la practica concierne, en cada concierto le ahace un buen arreglo a todas sus canciones y son tan creativos en composicion por encima de cualquiera eso es un buen jazzista arriba johnson wooo

[@sweetnothing1977]

@0:57 I love how he EXPLODES into the song !

[@jetjock015]

That is partially because the setup he used for this show consisted of 50 watt Marshall heads and Fender Deluxe Reverbs... Before and after ALC he's been using 100 watt Marshalls and much higher powered Twin Reverbs. The reason he used the lower-power amps because he was dealing with his tinnitus (I believe)...

[@speedsalot]

Chris Maresh on Bass and Bill Maddox on drums.

[@bajones18]

Pretty certain that breakup is deliberate - he has it in the intro to Venus Isle, and he'd never leave anything unintentional, especially of that nature in a record.

[@naVyXV]

Needed to hear this again after a couple years. SOMEONE PLZ DIRECT ME TO THE DVD WHERE THIS WHOLE CONCERT CAN BE BOUGHT !!!!

[@punkymunky23]

Can someone upload "Once A Part of Me?" It's one of my favorites, and I'm going crazy hunting for it! (Would be much appreciated!)

[@FilitosCDM]

Im just discovering EJ in my musical life ¿ could some one give me a list of his best songs ?

[@sfavila]

that was cool!

[@speedsalot]

He's (currently) back to Fender Twins and 100W Marshalls.

[@bddb9]

ej is awesome but that bass player is also pretty damn good

[@DavidCasper]

From what I can tell, the breakup noise is actually not his amp, nor is it intentional. I'm fairly certain it's the cord connecting the guitar to the wireless transmitter. Notice how slappy and thin his clean tone is - much weaker than it usually is - and how it seems to break up most when he moves around.

[@ehskisse]

if u take a look between 3'05 and 3'10 u'll c that the problem starts there, when he changes the pedal - theres some strange noise there. when he comes back to that same pedal that was making that strange noise, the real BIG problem shows up. 2 c what im talking about, u can check the first time(3'05 and 3'10): EJ stops looking at the guitar and looks at the pedals like "Whaz that?!!"

[@xdarrenx]

awesome performancel shame that his amp is broke/breaking.

[@drchronos]

I´m putting some of the videos avaliable for download.. The link are on the discription of each video. :)

[@victor224]

when will he play in austin again.???

[@thebluereverend]

yeah that was a reply to another commenet i'm not sure why its just hanging around ramdomly at the top here. Urg!

[@cntylan]

This tune is so bitchin'......I even enjoy the brief equipment failure at 3:37

[@scwfri]

First off, thats one of the Marshall's thats acting up - not the Fender... and second, the EVH brand is made by Fender

[@speedsalot]

Yeah, and EVH was Peavey before that. He (EVH) should stick with what brought him to the party in the first place, a Marshall 100W and stomp box. Listen to VH1, 2, Women & Children First and Fair Warning. Sounds killer compared to the processed tone he seems to prefer now.

[@drchronos]

Got it on eMule.. hehehe

[@diemnoctis]

believe, that's maddox!

[@megasam10000]

im sorry i dont speak spanish but i do learn french in school but r u saying that he's better than vai and satriani

[@thebluereverend]

Yo pienso que tambien. Lo siento mi español es mal.

[@aphexlane]

Not that Eric needs to do two hand tapping, but i always wonder what kind of stuff he would do if he really got into that aspect of playing...

[@jspartacus]

He plays at much lower volumes now. Only idiots blow their ears out with volume. Tinnitus is irreversible. Ask Paul Gilbert, who has lost most of his hearing. It's so bad that he can't even wear a hearing aid.

[@g4br13lsc]

What is the name of this music?

[@JD0x0]

doesnt Eric use Dumble amps?

[@xXVintersorgXx]

Where is the line between soul and technique? Out of all the "guitar gods" EJ is probably the only one that can pull off playing a blues song without making me cringe. His tone alone has more soul than a lot of other players. Just because he's not playing Mississippi blues doesn't mean he has no soul.

[@megasam10000]

i see

[@Likui]

you mean ppl like buddy guy BB king and Stevie ray vaughn make you cringe when they play the blues??

[@derock66]

No soul?????

[@jdfjdf1980]

EVH cant touch EJ's tone.......
